Thanks for showing us your cool tricks, Buddy!

๐ŸŒฟ Found a BABY BIRD??? ๐ŸŒฟ

Even though Spring ๐ŸŒป has well and truly passed we are still seeing a few fledglings around. Things to remember when assessing if a baby needs vet attention or be moved:

๐ŸŒป Is it in a safe place?
๐ŸŒป Is is bright and alert?
๐ŸŒป Does it have any obvious injuries?
๐ŸŒป Has it been on the ground for multiple hours?

A NORMAL part of learning to fly is the "fall down" phase. Often, the parent birds are not too far away, supervising & will bring food down to the baby.

If no obvious injuries are seen and the fledgling is bright & alert, the BEST option is to place it in a cardboard box on its side, close to the tree it came out of so that it is protected from the elements & the parents are able to keep an eye on it. ๐Ÿ’œ

โ€ผ๏ธIMPORTANTโ€ผ๏ธ NOTICE: You pet's microchip may no longer be registeredโ€ผ๏ธ

๐Ÿšซ'HomeSafeID' one of Australia's largest microchip registries has closed without notifying pet owners. If your pets' microchip is on their database, your details will no longer be accessible to vets, pounds or rescues. This means if your dog is to go missing, the microchip is essentially useless.๐Ÿšซ

โžก๏ธIf your pet is affected, you will need to re-register their microchip with a new registry, such as AAR or CAR. See link to registration form here: https://www.aar.org.au/pet-owners/owner-forms/ (AAR - $15 fee to register).
https://car.com.au/pages/list-a-pet
(CAR - $11.99 fee to register)

โžก๏ธTo find out if you need to register your pets' chip you can call the clinic, and if your pets' chip number is on their patient file we can let you know. Otherwise, book a time to pop by the clinic for a chip scan.

Did you knowโ‰๏ธ
๐Ÿคฏ A microchip is simply a series of numbers unique to your pet. Without being registered to a database, the microchip itself contains no contact details
๐Ÿคฏ almost 40% of microchips in Australia have inaccurate data or are unregistered!

Even our own pet's need a trip to the Vet occasionally. ๐Ÿพ

Steph's Border Collie, Elko, was glad to have her mums support while she was getting a check over from Dr Leonie. Elko was rewarded with some tasty treats after being such a good patient, and after a few weeks' rest, she should be back chasing Frisbee in no time!

Samson had an unusual heart rhythm that was picked up by Dr Leonie at his routine health check. The wonders of technology allow us to check the electric activity of his heart all while he sits and enjoys pats and a few treats ๐Ÿพ

โœจ๏ธ Welcome to the team, Georgia โœจ๏ธ

Many of you have likely already seen Nurse Georgia around the clinic. She joined us a few months ago & has slipped seamlessly into the team! We are grateful to have her bright personality, her enthusiasm & wonderful nursing skills. ๐Ÿพ

"I made the leap from Sydney to Brisbane in July 2024, and by September, I was proudly part of the Virginia Family Vet team, fresh out of completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. When Iโ€™m not caring for our furry patients, youโ€™ll probably find me hanging out with my Ragdoll cat, Fangs (yes, he lives up to the name!), exploring local markets, or catching up with friends, whether they are four-legged or two-legged."

Please say "Hi" when you see her next and welcome her to the VFV Fam ๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿพ Happy National Labrador Day! ๐Ÿพ

To all our wonderful labby patients ๐Ÿ’œ May you enjoy extra snuggles & things to eat tonight! (preferably edible things ๐Ÿ˜œ )

We certainly are a bit biased with love for Labradors here at the clinic, with quite a few amongst the team pet's....

They are such a lovely breed of dog, perfect for families and for many different jobs such a Scent Work & of course Therapy. We are fortunate to have some wonderful Labrador patients with equally wonderful owners ๐Ÿ’œ

Share a photo of your pet Lab with us in the comments so we can ooh and ahh at their cuteness ๐Ÿ˜

โœจ๏ธHappy New Year, VFV Fam โœจ๏ธ

We are back to our normal opening hours now! Thankyou for all your patience over the past few weeks as we tried to balance family time with caring for our patients ๐Ÿ’œ ๐Ÿ’œ

Today, we have hit the ground running with some interesting cases and super cute patients ๐Ÿพ Little Ellie (14yr old Maltese) had a series of chest radiographs to monitor her heart murmur ๐Ÿ’œ. Willow (6yr Burmese) had a dental procedure with some unhappy teeth that needed extracting ๐Ÿฆท Fresh breath for the fresh year! And Clawdia had a sedated groom, looking snazzy for the year ahead โœจ๏ธ

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday break and have loved seeing all your celebrations. We are so grateful to have such wonderful clients and patients, and we can not wait to see what the New Year brings!
